Australians are outraged after seeing a man worth millions end up homeless and living out of his car because a Public Trustee squandered his fortune.

Perth man Neil Jackson, 63, was awarded $2.8million after a traumatic car crash in 1997 left him with severe brain injuries.

His money was placed in the control of Western Australia's Department of Justice to manage and he was barred from accessing disability or pension payments until 2029.

Now his furious family, along with members of the community, are calling for an inquiry into the public sector blunder.
